I did this exercise in 2020 when I was bored in lockdown and had a few ridiculously big “future me” goals that seemed unattainable. But they all happened in a span of two years 😂 I bought a house, got engaged, got married, and opened my first private practice (in that order). I believe in the power of manifestation!! 🤩

[@lavendaire]

Wow amazing!! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@beelover2827]

So happy for you!

@@Thefitty I'm working on making new habits and achieving career success and physical health cuz i have been into depression and have lost my mental health due to making decisions on my career and now i realised that my health is more important to achieve whatever i want. I'm working on creating a life where i don't have to make myself suffer.

[@KellyLira]

I loveeee this exercise! I made my first one 5 years ago and have made my future me come true 🥹🥹 living in the city, in a home with large windows to let in natural light, married, have a dog, and loving my job ☺️ Also loved this video to see how you’ve grown over the years and achieved what you wanted to!!

[@lavendaire]

Omg Kelly! Love this for you!! 😍

I'm 52. This vedio encourages me a lot. Thanks so much for sharing your valuable experience and this exercise. ❤️

[@millievanillie90]

I really liked seeing how it took time to achieve your goals and becoming your ideal self. I also liked that any unfinished goals are still on your list. I still feel lost sometimes or like I didn’t achieve certain things when planned, but I just need to trust my journey more.

[@cmjk1]

I started watching your videos in 2019 and they have been a game changer.PS; I miss the monthly planning videos. I just checked and i realised i have been doing the future me and current me exercises every year too. The first time i did the exercises i had debts and I just wanted a side hustle since i am a student, and the next year that was the current me and then it went from that to having investments and now that is current me. Thank you so much for creating this exercise so that we can know how far we have come because it is so hard to stop and look at your progress in this busy world.

[@tanishapetertv2298]

You are the author of your life sis

[@TiaRenee]

I love this activity. One of my biggest accomplishments was getting pregnant after years of infertility and stillbirth. And although I struggle with consistency this allowed me to see myself being a creative business owner. Right now I teach English online and have an online shop. But with time I hope to create full time.

[@themichaelpepito]

for anyone debating on whether to get the artist of life workbook, I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND! Been using it for the past two years and it's completely helped me create healthier habits for myself (physically, mentally & spiritually) and overall has allowed me to clarify goals and act on them with such accountability and motivation. I am truly thankful for this creation Aileen! thank you so much & this video was just what i needed to inspire me for the new year ahead :)

[@Catcat-hk5so]

huhu this really makes me want to go back through my journals from the last 10 years. that always puts things in perspective in terms of achievement and growth also oooof you got that year of travel in right under the wire haha! 2020 was just around the corner 😳

This was so refreshing to see you go through similar issues of being lost and trying to figure it all out. You've come along way and it's definitely something to be proud of 👑 I haven't done this exact version but something similar. It's so interesting to reflect on the different emotions and goals at different points in my life. Thanks for sharing 💕

[@grittypluviophile]

Hey Aileen, I've actually done the current me vs future me when I was 16. I got inspired by you HAHAHA. I'm already 20 and it's just nice to look back to what I've written down in my future me and compare it to my old self. I've grown quite a lot. I'm planning to be consistent in doing this exercise again in the following years because it just helps me see my progress and seeing how much I've grown is just so fulfilling. Thank you so much✨❣️

[@studywithdreams]

hi lavendaire! i just wanted to say thank u for making so helpful videos for us, i really appreciate all the efforts u put into your content, you're such an inspiration

[@libragem]

Sagittarius 🌒, 2nd Chakra 👸 Aileen 🧡 The most striking result I saw after doing this exercise was that my 21-year-old benign cyst just disappeared in 2021! I had written "clear scans" for my future me.. less than 6 months later, though I'd practically prepared for a painful rest of my life.. it really came true 😳 "It's stayed for two decades.. How do you expect it to go away?" - For me, praying for someone else's health did it: with no expectations for my own benefits, I poured my heart out for another person's healing in the same area... We were both healed⚡😱 Even if it's been years, decades... Just say it, write it, do it ☺️ Literally, anything can happen!!

[@MariaJennine]

I have done the Current Me vs. Future Me exercise in the Artist of Life Workbook every year since 2018! This has helped me SO MUCH. There were years where it didn’t feel like anything was happening, but then everything that I waited and wished for happened two years later (i.e. traveling for work, planning a wedding, adopting my dog, and so much more). I’ve slowly learned to trust in the timing of life.

Wow!

hi aileen. this is to let you know that you have inspired me so much. you talked about leaving your footprints, AND yes you have left your footprints in my life and inspired me to become an entrepreneur and change the world just like you do. i have been feeling very lost and unmotivated lately and this video lit that spark in me again. thank you💕

[@peacelandhaven]

Aileen, it has been super inspiring to watch your journey over the past 7 years since I discovered you. I love that you share with us how you have manifested the life you dreamed of, and it honestly gives me so much hope as I do the same thing. So many blessings to you for what is to come 💜

[@sarahm498]

This is really inspiring, thank you. I did the same thing this morning with my current self and future self and I'm feeling really inspired. This is exactly what I needed because I've been feeling a bit lost about who I am and who I want to be and this kind of clarified everything.

[@kyrellfly]

Love this Aileen! 2018 was a special year to me when I started tuning in your self-improvement videos. 💖 Fast forward 4 years after, I'm glad I stumbled upon your videos because it continues to help me improve my personal life, career and most importantly for me this year, inner work. 🥰❤️ Thank you for creating Lavendaire, you truly are making an impact to your audience. ❤️

you are my tutor for goals...I thank you for guiding.Will do this exercise to achieve my goals

[@pikhupo]

This is so inspiring to see!! I started my Artist of Life workbook journey this past year and have already seen my transition from current to future me in a year!!! Just ordered the 2023 workbook and I’m so excited to see what will come for next year!!! Thank you for all that you do, and thank you for your vulnerability & transparency with your journey, Aileen!!! I think one of my bucket list items for 2023 will be to meet you so I hope you have a workshop sometime!! (Would love to have you sign my AoL workbook ^~^)

[@MariJadeWrites]

I made this exercise in 2019 in the artist of Life workbook i bought 🥰 some of it came true already ❤️ I'll be making a new version soon to see how to fill the gap between current me vs future me ❤️

[@moaj1461]

I actually wanted you to read all that was written in your current me and future me for every year. It's just to relatable. Thanks for sharing this.

[@mariavictoriadivina4392]

I can totally relate to you and I got really inspired/empowered by how you started in 2012 (and the 'future you' that time is in the now). I am so happy for you and you give me so much hope from this. I guess one thing that came true from my previous current me vs. future me is the fact that I am now able to do habits such as meditation and yoga which I only dreamt of doing before (I had no time to do it before).

[@simi5081]

I used to watch your channel a lot as a kid not knowing what u were talking about but still watching cuz i used to find ur voice soothing But rn, I'm at a point in my life where i really need ur help.......hope i overcome my self worth problems!

[@LuckyMeCandy]

This is one of my favorite exercises to do in the workbook. I can’t draw very well and found it hard looking at that page when I first did it, so now I use stickers. I love the idea of using affirmations as well as tangible goals. I’ll incorporate that this year.

[@tetta004]

You have already made large impact in my life. Thank you for your hard work to make the world better. Because watching many of your video, i am now less anxiety and less perfectionism than i was before.😊

[@shiningstar1ho]

I just started "my current me vs future me" this year and haven't reflect on it yet, maybe 2 weeks again while planning for 2023 I'll reflect on it. I know this practice since 2017 (since the first time I am interested in these journaling/planning activities), wonder why I don't start it earlier because watching you reflect on this practice since a decade ago really feel wonderful, it must feel even better if I reflect on my own current me vs future me. Thanks again Lavendaire for inspiring my self growth & improvement♡

[@Elena-Studio]

I have never thought of looking back to old Artist of Life workbooks and see if I have reached what I wanted to be. I'll definitely have to look back.

[@Mariamfa_]

@lavendaire thank you for amazing and inspiring videos. I learned a lot from your content. Again, thank you so much. Please, can you do more affirmations for friendship, sleep, ... etc.

I still have that job and love it & 4 years later, today, I just received the 2023 artist of life workbook! This time, it won't be about finding a new job, but starting my own brand on the side.

[@miastimelesscardreadings]

The comparison to the Queen of Wands was perfect! I used set up goals for the future. But having basically a summary of a current situation vs the future is so useful. Even if one doesn't achieve the exact goals, one can compare themselves vs themselves a year later. Very often I would dream of something. The time would go by and after a while it might loose it's significance. But there would be something else that has been achieved. The power of evolving. Because what we Want and what we Need are two different subjects. 🤔 I learned so much from you. Thank you! 🙏🎈🦋

One thing that came true from my previous current me to now is that before i always used to be hard on myself because of my failures and mistakes but of course with your help and my own inner strength, i found that each mistake and failure has a MIRACULOUS meaning to it and it is okay!

I have a recent ‘future me’ that I set last year that came into reality in the last 6 months.. I showed myself as a powerful, intuitive, strong, healthy, successful, wise, confident, beautiful, loving, guided(queen of cups/high priestess/queen of wands) Healer. Little did I know that all of that was going to be activated when I was in Mount Shasta, Cali in March with a group of talented shamans, healers, etc. It’s been a tough yet magical 9 months haha!! Feel like quite the scholarly warrior and see life through a totally different lens. Like the veil of illusion has been lifted and it’s time to do what we are here to do.

I've done this exercise once and now I'm hoping I still have it. But I do journal, and starting in 2019 I have done a painting that represents each year. I paint the year ahead and use colors to represent the year that is ending. The interesting thing is that 2019s was simple and gold, but 2022s has symbols that represented 2021 and was about to represent 2022. My car, car keys, a graduation cap🎉 and a drawing that honors my brother who passed away last year. I can't wait to try this and to get started on my 2023 painting!
